“One thing that you notice in underwater vehicle design is you typically can have either a vehicle that lasts very long periods of time but can't really carry anything with it,” Woerner said on a podcast in 2022. “But if you want something that can carry a sensor or payload that is perhaps a larger size or mass, or has a larger energy draw, you tend to need a more traditional underwater vehicle, propeller driven in most cases. And those tend to not have anywhere near the endurance” that the military is looking for.

The ocean itself is full of potential sources of energy, such as currents, waves, and even subtle differences in water temperature or salt levels. But there’s no single perfect source of ocean energy for what DARPA is trying to accomplish.

“If you're interested in maybe closer to surface transport, wave energy is a really great resource, most of the wave energy is distributed near the surface. If you want to go into deeper water, right? That means that wave energy wouldn't be a great resource for that,” Sandia National Laboratory engineer Kelley Ruehl, an advisor on the program, said on the podcast. Similarly, current energy is a very localized resource, where we have tidal streets— those are unique locations in the world. So it's a very specific place that one would need to harvest tidal-energy resource.”

DARPA said PacMar Technologies, another contractor on the Manta Ray program, will spend the rest of this year testing a full-scale energy-harvesting system.
Were they slow? There's actually plenty of people
who can do that at a reasonable or even fast pace. Of course lots of people type reasonably quickly with two thumbs too (or in the case of this comment, a left thumb and right pointer finger).
Punk and what ppl usually like. I thought such a recommendation engine would be quite taste agnostic anyways?
My ex- once commented that had half the internet bookmarked. He suggested it might be faster to Google for things than to hunt for the bookmark.
Making an emotionally manipulative documentary even more visceral and emotionally manipulative makes it even more effective as propaganda, big surprise.

There's also a Visual Studio Code extension ecosystem worth exploring that do similar functions (Dendron, Foam, etc)
That reminds me of Google's blob opera: https://artsandculture.google.com/experiment/AAHWrq360NcGbw
> True, but it’s still some protection: auto-fill won’t work on a different domain so phishing is harder. However, note that many legit sites, even payment gateways etc, use multiple strange-looking domains sometimes. This is beyond irresponsible imo, and the clear fault of the service provider.

Which is why the Passkeys spec clearly spells out this responsibility to the service providers and breaks if they get it wrong, truly making it their problem to solve. (It's the direct source of most of the complications described in the linked article's section #13, and indirectly mentioned in other sections.) Passkeys are domain specific and only domain specific and browsers do and will enforce that. It does what auto-fill can't and if a service provider uses multiple domains and gets things wrong, they are broken and have a service outage on their hands to fix, rather than "maybe they temporarily changed domains" still being a phishing vector for those relying on auto-fill as an anti-phishing deterrent (that still catches people that should know better because too many well known services are unreliable about temporarily jumping domains or just plain using way too many domains due to internal silos that shouldn't be so visible externally [cries in Azure]).

Just like late-development countries didn't avoid getting celphones and investing in mobile internet before they could put their wired internet in place, developing countries will stop their emissions on about the same time as developed ones.

Nobody is making any bit of extra work towards cleaning the planet. And that's a really big shame for the developed countries.
I have yet to find an AI tool or combination of AI tools that can hold my hand and give me correct solutions for my coding problems.

I have worked exclusively with React/Next, Node, and Mongo for years until I took over a legacy code base in October.

I had to teach myself Python/Flask, Vue, and Laravel without any kind of documentation or guidance from the previous developers or anyone else in my company.

AI has been able to help me get a bit further down the road each time I run into an issue. But AI hasn't been able to hand me perfect solutions for any of my problems. It helps me better understand the existing code base, but thus far none of the answer provided have been 100% accurate.
Maybe you can beep the motherboard if it happens. Would only take a few hours to notice then :)
XSLT is the perfect example of a technology that I might consider using today if I can get an LLM to do all of the work for me - see also jq and AppleScript which I use frequently now after avoiding them both for years.
Just quit firefox and restore tabs on restart, all of the tabs are now unloaded but still present in the tab bar.

Not if the spilled water is running down the drain.

If we stopped our CO2 emissions and nothing else changed CO2 levels in the atmosphere would start falling immediately as photosynthesis would capture carbon faster than natural sources emit it.
“average person has 7400 tabs” factoid actually just statistical error. average person uses bookmarks. Tabs Hazel is an outlier and should not have been counted

Thanks for confirming that I can have technical opinions about systemd, as an admin who touches more than a thousand physical servers. :)

I'll agree to disagree on the systemd's "we will replace anything and everything we even slightly dislike, and slowly make them dependent on systemd (the service manager) while not listening to you and your pesky experiences" attitude, and wish you more power for your future endeavors.

Have a nice day. :)
No country in the world is on a path compatible with the supposed 2 degree goal, and it's not mainly a problem of the West. I think the whole climate freakout is a scam in the first place. In any case, the West should not cripple itself as other countries continue business as usual. We can't survive like that, and it won't be the climate that gets us either.
This is not true. It's very easy to get a job if your salary expectations are not too high. It's only hard to get a high paying job.
That’s a bit of a red herring. Their rate of growth in coal has fallen dramatically over the last 15 years and other sources are growing rapidly. As a share of the total coal is declining as is oil and renewables is increasing. Assuming this trend continues over the next 20 years coal will become a distinct minority share. But their overall demand for energy is so immense that they’re still adding more coal power plants - and every other source of energy as well. The metric you quoted is pretty devoid of broader context and tells a story that’s pretty skewed when the reality is fairly nuanced.

I think the "app" form-factor is preferrable to a "website" for a lot of people. Almost every website I've built over the past 10 years (summing to ~900k-ish users) has had constant streams of users always requesting an app alternative to the website, quote "even if it's just the regular website in an app".
Unless you are from those places. Ie few years ago we visited Salar de Uyuni, biggest salt flat in the world, properly amazing place. And one of the biggest deposits of lithium. Any form of mining (and you know in Bolivia it won't be eco-friendly unless miracle happens) will destroy at least some aspects of it. And there are massive plans.

Now sure not that many species of animals/plants will be affected compared to say some rainforest location, but it still pains me to even imagine it. If it will bring good jobs to the locals then at least some good locally will be achieved, but thats not always the case.
> Nowadays, there are 4 to 6 rounds plus 2 technical challenges... Do they think they are Google? But they don't pay like Google.

That's the biggest thing. Companies want you to lie prostrate in front of them for comparatively mediocre pay.

The people doing the interviews at most companies are often terrible too... so what is all of this ceremony for?

I'm lucky to have a job at the moment, but I have looked around. I can honestly say I was not impressed by any of the big companies I talked too. The startups were in cash holding mode at the time, so I didn't really look in that direction.
Then why does my firefox freeze my comp if I have too many tabs open?
The 1.5 train has long gone and we are about to miss the next one too.
>If the prices mean that we move off of oil... we'll it's painful medicine.

I'm know I'm an odd duck, but I think the price of gasoline in the US is way too cheap. Even at the highest price per gallon in the US, that's about the same price per liter in Europe. I'm not considering bigOil profits in saying that. I'm saying that until the price of gasoline hurts, nobody will care about the ramifications from using it (if even then). People are less concerned about the environmental effects as they are their personal financial effects, but I'll take it either way if it reduces the use.
I think the article was saying that these batteries are buildable with easy-to-find materials for anyone, USA included. I don't think there's anything in them that can only be found in the United States.

More and smaller players in electricity production.

Half the oil and gas production comes from an official cartel so it's kind of in the oil sector's DNA with price fixing.
More opportunity for substitutions when your fuel is electrons instead of a specific blend of fossil fuels processed in a specific way.

That said for profit electric monopolies are indeed a scourge.
They typical reason hedge funds set minimums (aside from regulatory restrictions) is that they don't like dealing with a ton of small investors. It's easier to deal with fewer, larger ones.

In contrast, if you're a prop shop that only accepts employee money, you're already dealing with your employees.

So there's no real reason for JS et al. to set large minimums, in contrast to non-prop hedge funds.
Because there are multiple ways to generate electricity- including at-home options for many people.

There’s also an interesting factor in timing and latency of the grid. Peak usage is typically mid afternoon. While least usage is overnight.

There’s essentially excess capacity during the time period that most people charger their car.
Yes, yes and yes :)
Nevertheless, these people probably wouldn't think of these crimes, much less have any practical way to execute them, if not for the "suggestions" from their "friends" who are really FBI.
Well you need at least a phone screen and a final interview. Ideally you’d meet with the team in there somewhere.

And then for tests, you’d want a FizzBuzz (doable in one minute or less) before the phone screen and then something more substantive before the final interview.

2 interviews/2 tests seems to be the minimum.
SQLite includes a subset of JSON Path in the core database these days, used by functions like json_extract()

I wrote up my own detailed notes on that subset a while ago: https://til.simonwillison.net/sqlite/json-extract-path
Go has more in common with Java or C# than Rust. You can get a Rust like experience with the latest C++ standard and a lot of tooling on top. That’s the true alternative in my view.
Can we page the owners/devs of the app to at least explain what they've built and at least answer some questions about it?
Seems unlikely since at it's absolute best it's merely synthesizing a mashup of the same information that feeds Google search, and that's assuming it doesn't start seeing shit. Better to go directly to the source so you can at least make an attempt at vetting the credentials/expertise level that went into the information you're viewing instead of guessing how many mommy blogs, spam mills, and reddit comments got sucked into the intake in the process of producing whatever ChatGPT just coughed up.
Cobalt, however, which is used in common lithium battery chemistries, is mostly sourced from the DRC (Congo), much of it under terrible conditions: forced labour, child labour, and rampant environmental degradation. The book Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives [1] is a real eye-opener if you haven’t read it. Fascinating and deeply disturbing.

> which will be an order of magnitude cheaper than lithium ion

Maybe. But take a lot of these cost claims with a giant pinch of salt: TCOE/TCOS at scale is what matters and we won’t have any real idea what that will be while most of these battery chemistries are still pre commercialization.

That being said the cambrian explosion is very encouraging. Just good to temper optimism sometimes.

Aye? And are Republicans gonna be honest with farmers about the long-term consequences of not swallowing this bitter pill?

Are your politicians prepared to talk about the real welfare queens in this country, the truck-driving rural population whose lifestyle is propped up by oil & gas subsidies?
Sounds like their current strategy is stationary-only, i.e. not for use in vehicles, owing to the lower power density of sodium batteries. But that does not mean it's a problem that won't be solved in the future.
No. The developer's interests (able to do more stuff more easily) and management's interests (making developers commodities instead of highly skilled workers) are emphatically not the same; that's a major part of the article's point. (Unless you're a developer that owns your own company so you are management--which is not the situation the article is talking about.)
only bummer is that due to their strong respect of user anonymity a lot of their IPs are blocked by major platforms like Reddit
> so that you can feel better about yourself.

I don't grasp this sentiment. It's clear it's not about feeling better about oneself but being preoccupied about a materially predicted catastrophe that can tear the fabric of many societies if left without action.

Even if it means lowering some standards of living for a while, and spending money to move us out from the high consumption of fossil fuels, it's worth it long term both in economical and social aspects.

You don't want a world where social strife due to mass starvation, mass migration, destroying societies that want to protect themselves from the potential millions that will seek refugee elsewhere where they can have food, is possible because it would be a little bit inconvenient to some of the richest folks on Earth. Those will also cause massive economical impacts, broken supply chains, less supply of some raw materials, more protectionism from nations wanting to hoard resources, wars between nations when water sources move borders or disappear altogether.

Yeah, there might be some inconveniences that are required, but previous generations had to deal with much worse inconveniences: wars, famine due to crop failure, etc.

It sounds really entitled to be offended by being asked to not drive your car so much, shop more locally produced food (and even stuff in general) if possible in your budget, change some ways of business to not require so many flights for simple meetings, so on and so forth.

There are lots of low hanging fruits, there's also massive societal changes required, we should be brave enough to be inconvenienced a little to avoid much more suffering in the lives of our kids, grandkids and so on.

This is why I like when formatters give you some wiggle room in how the rules are applied.

Like, in Prettier, adding a trailing comma to a short list of items will tell the formatter to put each item on it own line, while removing the trailing comma will keep each item in a single line (if the line length is not too long).
In my limited experience, when mybloxx (very rarely) has a problem, it blocks all network access and I have to go in and “reset iOS connection cache” or “reset mybloxx”, two separate options in mybloxx that I’m unsure of what they do behind the curtain.

I hope someone who is more knowledgeable about the configuration profiles can give you a definitive answer.
It was pretty obvious when said without needing retrospect
Perhaps, but this was pre-transformers.
Even today's charging can be severely lacking, imho
They also exist for Android, for that matter.
I upgraded from 16gb to 32gb of RAM expressly because of firefox.
do these batteries burn in a mostly uncontrollable way like lithium ion?
This attitude of imposing pain that maps trivially to regressive taxation on lower- and middle-class voters is not a good look for the green left.

Same. Family friend is in high up position. Passed my CV on to the data team. They said positive encouraging things, and he said that he'd soon be in contact for the next steps.

It's been over a month. I can believe that family friend would be forced to say something positive about my CV, but not that he'd give me false hope.

My interpretation: companies aren't hiring, they're covertly laying off staff whilst projecting growth to the market. Or, they are hiring, but the current teams are worried about the security of their own jobs as AI is now making everyone worried.
Congratulations, looks like a cool app, I'm hoping I'll eventually catch up with being feature rich like yours. I've only just started, being hacking on it for a month now but am looking to do something pretty similar. I think we've had a few ideas the same - and amrescratching the same itch. Your 4 years ahead though :-) :-) https://edit-this.page/help is my humble work in progress.

Best of luck to you all!
Yeah let me waste a shitload of time on possible low-quality shit that might have spyware. Based on the advertisement I'm not convinced. I want PDF tools developed by experts, not monkeys pounding on keyboards or shysters who push stupid gimmicks.
Having lots of money doesn't mean spending lots of money. Budgets often get cut for no good reason.

toy with me for a bit, couldn't Mullvad be another "Encrochat" in the making?

Encrochat was similarly marketed as absolutely trustable complete with experts covering "we fixed this vulnerability/exploit and you can trust us" vibes (https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/uk-news/dads-se...)

Isn't Mullvad the same thing?

Do you really think they would allow terrorists like Hamas use Mullvad to coordinate attacks? Coincidentally, Hamas does not trust any sort of VPN, opting for underground land lines.
Agreed, that’s what I’m seeing too.
> engineers DO have significant bargaining power already, and have CHOSEN to use standardized solutions because they are good, well supported, and have wonderful communities of helpful people

How much is this actually true, though? It's probably true in small companies where the engineers might also be the technical managers. But is it true in a large company where management might have little or no technical expertise at all, but still insist on making technical decisions?
Where I live, heat pumps suffered insane price hikes because production couldn’t keep up with demand during the Russian gas scarcity scare. I‘m talking increases of €10+k.

And electricity prices are especially sensitive to gas/oil prices due to how European energy market prices are set. We still haven’t fully recovered from the insane gas price hike that caused all electricity to 2-4x in price (with huge downstream effects on overall inflation).
I think we may have a fat tail distribution here.
You sound like a real snowflake. Dealing with 3x the amount of 100F days where I live is a far lower standard of living than any boogie man you can come up with.

Thank you for the advice. Why do you say to stay away from SF until I've graduated? I am against antidepressants or any medication but going to try therapy, so thank you for the recommendation.
To my knowledge we don't measure it, at least not in the way I think you mean.

I can't speak for my marketing colleagues but I would assume they reason about it. It seems like a complex system to me, which means the approach kind of has to be (1) forming an understanding of the system and (2) deciding whether one is comfortable with the uncertainty.

One aspect that makes the cost/benefit assessment quite a bit easier is that we don't only care about how many new paying customers we get. It's also fun to do this kind of advertisement. How many interesting conversations about privacy have been had as a result of people seeing our billboards? That's worth something too.
The issue with iron-air batteries is their lower charging/discharge current. So they focus on a different storage niche: week-scale storage. Storage at different timescales can coexist and work together on a grid, since the mismatch of supply and demand, when viewed as its Fourier transform, has components at multiple different timescales.
Last time I was at the doctor's for a bone fracture I have been treated by people with tens of years of experience and education, in a gigantic building, and my bones were scanned by tools that cost millions and were science fiction 2 generations ago.

Currently most houses have a instantaneous load requirement of 100kw (some much higher) which means your transmission line size / load requirements are going down 100 fold. That effectively allows us to "dismantle unnecessary high voltage transmission lines". Yes there will still be high voltage lines, (and even the lines that go right up to your property are typically 1000 volts or more, which qualifies for "high voltage")... but such a future of inverters and batteries would still reduce most of the infrastructure.

Look, I'm not wrong about this, it just would require all houses to have their own inverters and batteries. I'm not saying this is GOING to happen, I'm just saying the requirements on the grid would be so damn small that having a PG&E would be hilariously expensive in this possible future. Instead you would have microgrids and much smaller scale power companies.

If you all want to keep paying $1 per kwh (2026 pricing) by all means don't push for this kind of infrastructure change. If people want $0.01 per kwh again, this is the way to do it. At this point we're mostly paying for PG&Es infrastructure that makes sense in today's batteryless world. We don't have to keep paying that price. There are different futures and more competition possible.
Not immune, but more resistant:

- electricity can be generated many different ways

- many generation sources aren't dependent on resupply. Spiking the price of lithium doesn't prevent existing batteries from working, it only makes new ones more expensive. Solar, wind, hydro and nuclear (to a lesser extent)

- electricity supply is heavily regulated, for better or worse.
Amazing looking organization. Wish you were looking for frontend engineers!
